What our founders say
“As the founder of BroilerX, I’ve been fortunate to grow alongside B71 since we started in 2020. Being part of their ecosystem really helped us find direction in our early stages — from connecting with the right mentors to being introduced to potential partners who genuinely cared about our progress.”
“B71’s network is truly game-changing! Through their global ecosystem, we’ve connected with ambitious entrepreneurs from Singapore, Brunei, Taiwan, and Japan. Their growth-focused programs have sharpened our skills, and events like ATxSG even helped us land a long-term buyer from Malaysia! It’s more than networking; it’s building bridges that turn opportunities into success.”
“Being a member of B71 Indonesia has been an enriching experience. The community is vibrant, supportive, and full of inspiring entrepreneurs. The programs and networking opportunities have helped me grow personally and professionally. It’s a great place to connect, learn, and scale your startup with the right support system”
